Bordeaux ! - Day22

We were up early to leave our quirky, but comfy Paris apartment to meet Kez and Frank for taxi to Montpanasse station for train to Bordeaux. All went very smoothly with an efficient taxi and a very comfortable train journey to Bordeaux. Only issue was me avoiding a double hernia getting bags on and off the train. We, of course had to have a little wine before arriving in Bordeaux.

A friendly taxi driver took us to the very nice Hotel Particulier in the centre of the town, so we could enjoy an afternoon walk in the wide pedestrian boulevards of the old town. It is a very prosperous and attractive city. We enjoyed the magnificent cathedral and the Place du Borse near the river.

Kez had her cash card swallowed by the ATM so after she attempted to sort this little hiccup, we enjoyed a wine tasting in the hotel courtyard........ When in Bordeaux!

Choosing a place to eat was difficult and we opted for the Petite Bistro that received great reviews. Our experience was mixed, with Gail, in particular, drawing the short straw. I did enjoy my first Corsican wine! A post dinner stroll showed an even prettier town under lights.
